Basically I’m trying to de-clutter the cables to my charging station, and was hoping to use a 3-way cable for my phone, watch, and headphones.

My main concern is if one device is able to successfully negotiate QuickCharge or PD, would that send 9-20 volts to the other devices?

e.g. if I grabbed the wrong cord and hooked it into my laptop, the laptop requests 20v, would that PD negotiation succeed and also send 20v to my 5v devices on the other two leads?

I’ve only used these kinds of cables with USB-A and chargers that can only output 5V. Most of my chargers now are QC/PD so I’m curious if I should avoid those or take any particular precautions.

I’m kind of doing that with wire ties every few inches. Haven’t thought of a cable sleeve, though. That would probably work and look better. Thanks!

Yooooooo wire sleeves are about to change your life lol they are the best shit since sliced bread. I get a roll of like 3 different diameters to have on hand at home for living room and office wire management.

Another option may be something like this and then some 6inch cables. This is not a recommendation. This is just a random one from Amazon.
